E73: Feeding the Matrix: Nvidia

This week on Everybody in the Pool, it’s the first episode in our special series on AI and energy use. We’re starting at the foundational layer of AI computing: the chips. Nvidia is the undisputed leader when it comes to providing the processors (and networking equipment and cards and servers and racks) and the software platform that lets companies use those chips to train AI models. But what’s the company’s responsibility when it comes to enabling more sustainable AI? We spoke with Nvidia’s head of sustainability about how the company is making its chip architecture 96% more efficient compared to just two years ago, how it’s pioneering digital twinning to model more energy-efficient data center construction (among other things) and how its their belief that companies are not pulling back on their sustainability goals in the age of AI. Fingers crossed!
